2. How do we relate the happenings of this hour, to the Word of God?
Scripture: Luke 12: 54 -- 13: 5
3. Towers:
Build for ------- Safety
------- To protect us
------- Security - - use to give us security
------- To make a name (put us on the map) Gen 11: 4
Eiffel........Empire Sate building.......Statue of Liberty.......
Putting wordly things above the Things of God (we can become so good at doing it)
4. Towers in our own lifes:
--------- Money --- rich fool : Luke 12:13

8. Save in Jesus.....
Ps 23: Even if I walk in the Shadow of Death, I will not fear.......
9. 2 Samuel 22: 2 - 5 " And he said, The LORD [is] my rock,
and my fortress,
and my deliverer;
The God of my rock;
in him will I trust:
[he is] my shield,
and the horn of my salvation, my high tower,
and my refuge,
my saviour;
thou savest me from violence.
I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised:
so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
